Hi Roman,
Yes I did run gnome-panel and it was blank in one of the tiles, but I 
thought I was not doing it as per expected, since:
1) Surely they don't manually resize the gnome-panel to a more suitable 
size?
2) Adding an object to the panel does not display anyway (wtf?)
3) If I killed gnome-panel, I expect it wouldn't maintain its state (and 
I bet users don't recreate this state each time)

So I figured I was probably "doing it wrong".

I have recently been pointed to ManageDocks, so I expect this is what 
everyone else is doing :) I'll check it out.

Real-world problems are simply degenerate cases of pure mathematical
